Vintage print, 13.25 x 11, of a portrait of Churchill seated in a chair, his trademark cigar in one hand, originally done by Arthur Pan in 1943, signed in the lower border in black ink, “Winston S.

Scarce original 5 x 8.5 cabinet photo of Churchill as a young politician, circa 1908, by John Thomson, signed below the image in black ink, “Winston S. Churchill.” Embossed studio info at the bottom of the mount reads: “By Royal Warrant, Photographers to His Majesty the King, 141 New Bond St., W., Thomson.” In very good condition, with scattered surface marks and impressions, silvering to borders of the image, a few dings to the left border of the mount, and left and right edges of the mount lightly trimmed. This portrait comes from a sitting with famed Scottish photographer John Thomson, who pioneered photojournalism with his social documentary photography from throughout the Far East and the streets of London. He went on to become a portrait photographer of British high society, gaining the Royal Warrant in 1881. Around the time of this photograph, Churchill began his third term in Parliament and married Clementine Hozier, who he would remain with until his death. The dignified portrait depicts Churchill wearing his famous navy blue and white polka-dot bow tie, eventually mass-marketed as the ‘Blenheim,’ which he popularized and wore throughout his life. RR Auction COA.

RR Autograph Auction Winston Churchill
Superb original vintage signed ink sketch of an exhausted boxer sitting in his corner, being rubbed down by one trainer and fanned with a large towel by another, titled “The Losing Side,” on an off-white 9 x 7 sheet, signed under the image, “Winston S. Churchill—/92.” Sheet is affixed to a 10.75 x 8.25 mount. In fine condition, with a uniform shade of toning over image from previous display, and toning, soiling, and adhesive remnants to mount. Apparently the young Churchill gave this picture to the owners of a sweet shop close to Harrow School, and it remained in their family until its sale. This appears to be the earliest-known artwork by Churchill, with it’s title decidedly ironic in light of the man’s future achievements. Provenance: Christies.
